Gould and Sage, and to this end he
requested the Pacific Railway Investi-

WHAT THE DEFENSE SAYS.
Judge Dillon, attorney for Jay
Gould in the S6,000,000 suit to be

sonally owned 81 100000 of Denver

AsIATIC CHOLERA IN NEW YORK HAIR
NON


Dor.
For the past few years Asiatic cholera has
broken out every season in the Mediterran-
can countries, and there has been continual
struggle to check its evident tendency to
come West to this hemisphere. The dreaded
visitor has arrived finally in New York har-
Dor in shipload of the scum of Italy, which
is being spewed upon our shores in spite of
all law against importation of contract labor
and the immigration of paupers.
The home of Asiatic cholera is Hindostan,
and our first record of its ravages date back to
400 b. c., when it invaded Greece. Early in
modern times it was observed that il became
epidemic regularly once in IL years in India,
upon the occasion of the HindOo pilgrim
ages, spreading west across Asia by the Per-
sian carovan routes into Europe. 1t first
found its way TO this continent Mt Quebec in
1882, and was carried TO Detroit, and thence
TO Fort Dearborn, where Chicago now stands.
It attacked the troops at that time engaged
in the Black Hawk war, and thence went
down the Mississippi to New Orleans, where,
out of a population of $1,000, 6,OOO died.
In 1871 it again broke out in India, and
by 1S4S had once more reached this country,
landing at New Orleans with some immi-
grants from Havre. 1t was carried up the
river to st. Louis, and thence by the old
emigrant overland trail to California. In
1919 more than 1000 deaths occurred on
the plains among the gold seekers bound for
the Pacific coast.
In 1866 the epidemic again started in
India and proceeded west 70 Mecca, to Al
exandria in Egypt, to Malta, to Italy, the
south of France and ON to England. BY the
next year. 1866, it was in New York, and
was distributed throughout the United
States as far west as the plains of Kansas.
Two years ago it scourged the south of
France, Spain and parts of Italy, and some
towns of the latter country were visited last
Summer.
The health authorities of New York city
have placed the Italians who arrived last
week with cholera under surveillance, and
they are all, sick and well, kept apart on an
island TO prevent the introduction of the
disease in the city. The officers have entire
confidence in being able to control it and
stamp out the disease, knowing, however,
that if they should fail and it got a foothold
in the squalid quarters of the Metropolis, it
would travel from ocean TO ocean in spite of
all that could be done.
One thing in favor of its suppression is
the near approach of frost.

THE IRON BRIGADE,s REspoNsE.


When Gen. E. S. Bragg made his famous
speech about coffee-coolers," "bummers
and "deadbeats in Congress last Winter
be also drew glowing picture of himself
riding down the front of the Iron Brigade,
which he commanded at the time, when
those sturdy veterans cheered him wildly
because they knew they had a leader. In
supporting the veto of the general pension
bill by the President he voiced the senti-
ments OF these men.
AT least so he said.
All men are liable to at least occasional
error of Judgment. 1t was intimated firmly
but kindly at the time to Gen. Bragg that
he might be wrong about this. Probably he
is somewhat shaken himself in the belief in
his own infallibility by this time. This
same old Iron Brigade has society,
of which Gen. Bragg has been Senior
Yice-President. They met at Milwau-
NJ INV SthSA Nays as DilSug hOtSu III
last weeks issue, and Bragg wanted to be
elected to the same Office again. The old
veterans who fought Ewell's Corps at the
Second Bull Run, and stood the first shock
at Gettysburg took the opportunity TO ex-
press their opinion of the Generals Con-
gressional oratory. All the other officers of
the society from the President down, save
him alone, were reelected. He made an
appeal for similar mark of confidence, but
it fell upon offended ears. He was relent-
lessly rebuked by a majority of about four
to one, and Col. Robinson was chosen as
Bragg's successor.
None deny that Gen. Bragg was good
soldier, but the higher the pedestal upon
which we place him then, only makes his
fall the farther now. From the Copperhead
stay-at-home the soldier expects nothing,
but he may well resent it when once be-
loved leader becomes renegade and deserts
and reviles him in the hour of his distress,
while the country owes him more than it
can ever pay.
